Chapter 5: Getting Started
This chapter provides preliminary steps and basic FAROFocus Premium operation instructions as well as
guiding you step-by-step from setting up the FAROFocus Premium to recording your first scan.
Charging the Battery
The PowerBlock battery (ACCS-PWR-0014) can be charged in the FAROFocus Premium or in the
FARO PowerDock battery charger (ACCS-PWR-0013).
As a safety precaution, new batteries are shipped with a charge of less than 30%. New batteries must be
completely charged before first use. Full capacity of a new battery will only be reached after a couple of
charge/discharge cycles. We recommend fully charging the battery before each use. Keep a spare battery,
if necessary, during your scan project.
DANGER: Danger of explosion or fire Do not immerse batteries in water or fire. Do not bring metal
objects into contact with the battery terminals. The terminals may short-circuit and over-
heat.
DANGER: Danger of fire or electric shocks Ensure that the devices are protected from rain or
spraying water. The power-supply unit and the PowerDock battery charger are not
intended for outdoor use.
The power-supply unit can be used in various countries. It is compatible with a 100 V AC to 240 V AC
50/60 Hz power source. Use a voltage adapter, if necessary.
Charging the Battery in the FAROFocus Premium
NOTICE: You cannot use older versions of the battery (versions that were used for the Focus S, M and
S+ scanners) with the Focus Premium Laser Scanner. These batteries do not provide enough
current to safely power and operate the Focus Premium Laser Scanner. Use only version
ACCS-PWR-0014 of the battery. The scanner will warn you if you try to start it using an
older battery. If you have both types of batteries, always double-check the battery's type
label to ensure you have the right version—especially when packing for a remote job.
